National Republican., 1887-10-15

The Washington Base Ball Club journeyed
over to Baltimore yesterday, accompanied
by several Of their enthusi siastic admirers, to
the Statesmen and the Baltmores, Of the
American Association. That the visitors
were well repaid for their trip subsequent
Developments proved, as the Senators de.
feated the Orioles in great style and In the
most approved matter. The day was raw
and chilly and not at all appropriate for
brilliant work. Despite this fact, however,
the contest was a most praisewortny exhi-
bi,ion and exceedingly fow errors were
made, the washingtons being credited with
only one fielding error and the Baltimores
with three, two passed balls and wild pitcn.
Tho attendance was not large, there being
ber were alive TO the good points Of the
game, and bestowed their appro-
bation impartlally, the Statesmen re-
ceiving liberal amount OF applause
whenever their efforts justified IL. The
Baltimoree put their star pitcher--Kilroy-
In the box, and the way In which his deliv-
cry was batted must have made the pride OF
the Monumental City feel sad. Whitney,
who occupied the points for the Wash
after the third innings, to his opponents,
and was hit at rare intervals.
The Baltimores took the first whack at
the ball, and opened up In a very brisk
manner, earning two runs. Greenwood led
of, and was easily retired at FIRST. Daniels
made base hit, went to third on Burns's
two'bagger, and both runners scored on
Pursell's safe hit to right field; the next
two, batters were quickly retired without
f,,tt ha Irau
blank in their half Of the frat. In the sec.
obd the Baltimores again scored run.
Davis hit high fly back OF first base, which
Myers dropped after hard run, and crossed
u rubber on Trott's two Dagger. This
put the score Q to 0 In the Orioles favor,
and Washingtonians began to feel
rather blue. Their misgivings did not
last long, as In the fourth inning the States
men INDUCED In remarkable streak OF
batting, and kept their antagonists buslly
engaged In chasing leather. Carroll was
the first man In this inning TO face Ktlroy,
and he touched up the south-paw twirler
for base hit. Hines did likewise. Then
Daily caught the batting fever, and the
sphere went sailing into left field for q
single, Carroll scoring, but Hines, in en-.
deavoring to run to third, was put out.
O'Brien reached first on called balls, send
ing Daily to second. Both were advanced
base on Mack'so out At first, and on Kllroye
wild pitch and his muf Of a thrown ball at
the rubber. This tied the score, with no
one on the bases, but the Senators were not
satisfied, and hit after hit followed in the
most satisfactory manner. Myers, Don
nelly, and Whitney made singles, and
Shocb double, which resulted in three
more runs, and Shoch in turn crossed the
line on base hits by Hines and Carroll,
which ran the total number Of tallies up tC
seven before the last man was put out
The Washipgtons sent twelve men to the
bat In this inni 4, out of which ten hits
were made, Hines and Carroll getting
two each. From this point on the
Baltimores seemed to lose heart, the only
player who rallied being Davis, who
knocked the sheepskin over the fence for q
home run in the sixth inning amid the
greatest amount OF enthusiasm. The Bal
